Abstract

The identification of specific spatial patterns of immune checkpoint expression that correlate with overall survival in patients with colon cancer suggests a potential prognostic tool for risk stratification and treatment selection. These findings pave the way for the development of novel therapeutic strategies to enhance antitumor immune responses.
